21253785 divided by 973 
We want to divide 21253785 by 973.

On to step 1:
The number 973 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 973

On to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 973

On to step 3:
212 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 212.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 0 from 212.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 212, then repeat: 2125 / 973

Step 4:
When dividing 2125 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 179.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1946 from 2125, we get 179.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 179 and repeat the process: 1793 / 973

Advancing to step 5:
973 can be fit into 1793 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 820.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 973 from 1793, we get 820.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 820, then carry on: 8207 / 973

Advancing to step 6:
8207 divided by 973 is 8 with a remainder of 423.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtracting 7784 from 8207 leaves us with 423.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 423, then carry on: 4238 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
973 goes into 4238 4 times with a remainder of 346.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2184.0
The remainder is 346 after subtracting 3892 from 4238.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 346, then carry on: 3465 / 973

On to step 8:
973 goes into 3465 3 times with a remainder of 546.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21843.0
Subtracting 2919 from 3465 leaves us with 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
973 goes into 5460 5 times with a remainder of 595.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21843.5
If we take 4865 away from 5460, we end up with 595.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
973 goes into 5950 6 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21843.56
Subtract 5838 from 5950 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1120 by 973, we get 1 and a remainder of 147.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21843.561
The remainder is 147 after subtracting 973 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
973 goes into 1470 1 times with a remainder of 497.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21843.5611
Subtracting 973 from 1470 leaves us with 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4970, and continue the process.

The final result is 21843.5611 with a remainder of 0.00497.
